&ldquo;These violet delights have violent ends<br /> And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.<br /> Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest homey<br /> Is loathsome in his own deliciousness<br /> And in the taste confounds the appetite.<br /> Therefore love moderately: long love doth so:<br /> Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.&quot;<br /> -Friar Lawrence.

When someone else is in your life,
You tear my life apart,
When you have a new hand to hold,
You cut off my own,
When you have someone to tell your problems to,
You create more for me,
When you say those sweet little nothings to her,
You tell me I'm not good enough,
When you go to bed at night,
You should know that you made mine a little worse each day.
